I didnt really do a good pic by pic. I used a sawzall and cut right on the line that goes down next to the bumper pad.. here are couple pics.. I could have filled the line and lined the whole bumper but it was a temp thing... key is to screw it threw the bumper to the caps ...

I trimmed the caps down to fit between the plastic and the metal bumper support, then hollowed the back out of the end caps and screwed in on.. super easy and fast...
